Ti weighs about the same, if not lighter, than alu. Reason why they use it in aircraft is coz though its light, its pretty darn strong!

QUOTE(refnulf @ Aug 21 2009, 01:38 AM) Could be also because of the light engine, the sapphire lens and all that. It's much more solid than any other light I have. Plus, do remember it has to be just as tough, or tougher than the other Ra Lights. Put the weight factor aside, I am sure this Ti Ra Clicky will impress you and sure it will impress the other.Talk about impress, hey bro, when can we come out to have a TT session and then you may show me your new toy? |

Hey Justin78,
Im no sir... Haha. Actually I didnt mod the mag myself. Its from user surefire v LED. If im not mistaken it is the Edison KLC8 or Michael Jordan. But I heard it was pretty easy. Just swap it in and will give ya 100 lumens for about 4 hrs... Not as bright as eagletacs or fenixes but hey, it's american made! haha |

Tsk tsk Ray... =Dfwiw, i do not doubt sf build quality. i own a 6p & love it to bits. i doubt i'll get an m6 bcos its too expensive (bloke gear says rm1500+) & can probably get a similar throw performance from a dbs, tiablo or ET. once again, this is my opinion only...ymmv + 1 armorFiend the argument for/against AA's vs CR123 has been discussed on cpf, go look it up. it basically boils down to personal preference imho. as a newbie im currently on AA's its more easily accessible, even tho im planning to try out rechargeables for the always topped-up cells option (turbo high on all the time no issues haha). btw, i have an E01 (sorry walter, i broke my promise lol, couldn't resist) as well & i love it . purple beam aside, its small, light, long-running & good enough for most situations, as a soldier attests on the cpf thread.

Even my titanium watch are much much more lighter the my stainless steel watch. Maybe the technology that Ra Clicky used to built the flashlight is very much different than the other? QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Aug 21 2009, 02:03 AM) Ti weighs about the same, if not lighter, than alu. Reason why they use it in aircraft is coz though its light, its pretty darn strong! Here is where I correct you guys!! Mwahaha!!Pure titanium is over 60% more dense than pure aluminum. That means that for the same amount of material, Ti is over 60% heavier!! So please clear the misconception that Ti is lighter. But it is around twice as strong. The Ti and Alu used in flashlights are not pure. They are an alloy. Commonly called "aircraft grade" Usually the Alu used is either 6061 (alloyed with mainly silicon and magnesium, easier to machine) or 7075 (alloyed with mainly zinc, stronger). Ti would usually be 3Al-2.5V (alloyed mainly with 3%alu, 2.5% vanadium) or 6Al-4V (alloyed with mainly 3%alu, 2.5% vanadium). Ti alloy is usually as strong as SS but half the weight. It is also usually twice as strong as Alu alloys but double the weight. |

QUOTE(NtahX @ Aug 20 2009, 04:32 PM) anyone know where i can find this Hi bro,1 WATT AA MAGLITE LED BULB and IQ SWITCH by NITE IZE mini maglite upgrade kit in MY? anybody selling besides ebay.. or any other upgrade available for Mini Mag AA? advice are welcomed - Thanks I dunno how much is the maglite LED bulb, but i think it's not worth investing in coz i have the 3xAAA LED Mini Mag and seriously, its kinda disappointing.... i would suggest u to get other brand of LED light... And btw, i have a LED by Nite Ize for 2xAA mini mag..and it's jst as bright as Energizer's keychain LED...nothing to should about..and considering i purchase them from Ebay US, it's kinda pricey and not worth while... In fact, i bought 2 pairs..with one still in it's sealed blister. If you're interested, i could sell them to you, hehee...though seriously, i dont recommend them.. It s not bright enough to be useful... |

wah no new post for almost 24hours. Everybody is puasa and keeping quiet, sleeping!!!
Where can we get holder for 18650 and RCR123 battery for safe storage and transporation. If I balik kampung, normally I carry all my rechargeable batterries with me, and keep them inside my backpack. I am not sure it is safe doing that with all those close to a dozen 18650 Lithium-ion and another half dozen RCR123. I do believe Renulf with 1 dozen of 18650 for the Kong alone might have a better solution for storage. This post has been edited by zainalklj: Aug 22 2009, 10:53 PM |

not sure about 18650 as I carry them either in lights or plastic zipper bag, but for CR123A/RCR123 there are a couple of safe options:
- Surefire SC1 - Get the Eagletac battery magazine from our local EagleTac man... Philightsophy - Get the Lock&Lock storage box - store in Dequadin tube (this tips learn from one cpfer... from SG I think... ) For AAs, you can get the Uniross 4-cells battery case from Best Denki (I got mine from 1U), or, use the protective case that comes with Eneloop. EDIT: found the thread from cpf... How do you carry spare batteries I think Pelican case with pre-cut foam for the battery is best... but price is high... (ya... ya... i know the Surefire SC1 is more expensive, i must be high on Lithium battery poison when buying it... This post has been edited by RookieDaddy: Aug 22 2009, 11:21 PM |

I have another 8 which I install into 2 extra battery holder for the Ellie 2 (which keeps them apart). Other alternatives are plastic cases which fit the 18650. You can ask Justin to confirm which ones he uses. He has hundreds of those batteries all kept for sale, etc.Where can we get holder for 18650 and RCR123 battery for safe storage and transporation.
